The information is used as basis for medical decisions. The time required to complete such a chore is enormous. For example, to gather the temperatures of the patients, thermometers have to be sterilized and then distributed to the patient population. The thermometers must then be collected and read and the patient's chart marked accordingly. The process is time consuming and is error prone during the data collection and processing phase because of the absence of certain patients from the ward, inaccurate readouts from mercury thermometers, and lack of attention of overworked personnel.

  • Voltage measuring circuitry, 77 , current measuring circuitry, 78 , capacitance measuring circuitry, 79 , inductance measuring circuitry, 80 , and resistance measuring circuitry, 81 are coupled by FET's, 71 - 75 , respectively.
  • the measurement circuits can be realized using techniques disclosed in prior art, such as the Wheatstone bridge, measuring over a shunt, or using methods found m any good-quality multimeters, such as manufactured by Fluke.
  • the output of the measuring circuits, 77 - 81 is directed to A/D converter, 83 , which transforms data into digital data manageable by controller, 45 .
  • Frequency measurement is directed to counter, 82 , via FET, 76 , and sent to controller, 45 .
  • FET, 70 switches data from sensor 36 or 37 to controller, 45 , via data buffer, 84 .
  • FET's 62-76 and PGA 61 are controlled by control register, 54 , which can connect and disconnect any of FET's 62-69 alternatively or simultaneously, and one FET from group 71-76 in the same time, thus co-ordinating sensors with required gain and measuring circuit, and informing controller 45 of type of data and origins.
  • FET 70 can work with any of the FET's from group 71-76 .
  • sensor 36 with or without sensor 37 , may be used as a reference via FET, 70 , and measured signal from sensor 34 may be the variable.
  • number of sensors and switching coupling elements are not limited to Figure 5, as single or multiple arrays of a component or a complete circuitry may be used.
  • Chemical sensors such as pregnancy kits, laboratory tests, or urine glucose, and the like, may also be included via communication means 13 or sensor type 36 .
  • the arrangement mentioned in Fig. 5 can be realized by using as FET's 62-76 , NATIONAL AH0019, AH5011, or CD 4066, which is suitable for analogue and digital data switching.
  • the equivalent of a PGA 61 may also be implemented using FET switches for the gain-switching.
  • An A/D converter, 83 such as industry-type ADC1210 is suitable for the above-mentioned applications.
  • the A/D circuitry may also be realized by measuring the frequency output of a Voltage-to-frequency (V/F) converter, such as an LM131, which may be used to convert analog signals to frequency.
  • V/F Voltage-to-frequency
  • element 42 may be integrated into a single-component IC, and also integrated with controller 45 using ASIC technology.
  • the sensors are wired to provide port connections corresponding to the port assignments in the instruction set, for example, as in Fig. 5.
  • This arrangement allows the minimization of the overall dimensions of device 10 , and substantially reduces its cost.
  • external sensors 32 to 39 can also be connected to device 10 via sensor output ports, 15 to 22 , and work in conjunction with sensors 28 , 29 , 30 and 31 .
  • Figure 7 shows a typical mounting over a monitored body showing device 10 mounted on a body with associated external sensors, 32 to 39 . Sensors 28 to 31 are not shown.
